The Thread For Those Who Feel The Need To Share With Us All The Banal Details Of Their Lives — Page 86

Your school sounds sadistic. Our finals were limited to a week.

Ahhh, gotcha. Well, in any case, I'm sending good vibes your way.

De nada, mi amiga.

Estudie, chica, estudie! Y coma desayuno!

White chocolate mochas are SO good!

I want some cookies but cannot get out of this chair.

I always thought I'd like learning another language; I used to be fairly good in it, too. I've just had so many horrific experiences with Spanish teachers that it's turned me off to it in any sort of educational environment. For over five years, I had teacher after teacher who I simply did not get along with. When I got to college, I realized that in addition to that, I'd been poorly taught only the bare minimum. I can read and write it fairly well, but I can't speak it to save my life, because in high school we were taught so we could pass a test, not so we could do anything practical.

It's been a really bad experience.

You should teach me!

In my college classes, we had to speak entirely in Spanish, whereas in high school I barely had to speak at all, if only for contrived oral exams. I really can't hold a conversation for anything.

To be banal, however, I feel like my hair grows an inch every day. It's crazy!

It would appear that my neighbors are having a party. These are the same neighbors who make so much noise that you'd think they're throwing themselves into the wall.

Greetings to Plum in Paris!

and, yes, I know the frustration of the keyboard layout there... but, it's worth it, isn't it?

When you get to the d'Orsay, go directly to the top floor to see the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists and work your way downstairs. With limited time you want to start with the best! May I also recommend the Rodin museum? And, the Picasso museum is one of the finest collections and displays I've ever seen! Also, the musee Jacquemart-Andre' is fascinating. It's a rare peek into life in Paris in the 19th century. Take the self-guided tour. It's not as well known as the other museums, but it's just wonderful. One of my favorites!

Be SURE to get to Ste. Chappelle. It's a gem.

If you're at the d'Orsay, by the way, you'll be across the street from where I used to live. Give it a wave for me...

Wish I were there with you! Have a wonderful time!
